An information preservation and conveyance system for providing information and effects to intelligent creatures in the future. The system provides durable containers with components secured inside and durable structure components, such as building bricks for example, mountable to a durable building, pyramid, or other structure, with at least one structure component having external surface information readable by a human. Higher density durable information providing components may be secured inside a durable container by resilient devices to absorb impact forces. Durable optical magnifier pictographic instructions and an optical magnifier or projector may be secured by durable containers, which can have a container opener durably mounted to exposed sections on the durable containers. The durable containers can contain audio generation apparatus, which optionally may teach a language, and any of a wide variety of types of information and articles of possible interest and value to a discoverer in the future.

A mezuzah having a decorative appearance changeable by a user. The mezuzah comprises a mezuzah casing comprised of an elongated receptacle having at least one opening configured and dimensioned to permit insertion and retention of a parchment klaf therein.

A customizable memorabilia cover has front and back substantially rectangular leafboard members coupled to a spine member. Elastic bands may be coupled one each at the distal and proximal ends of the elastic bands substantially to the outer corners of the rectangular leafboard members. The elastic bands are disposed acutely from the edges of the rectangular leafboard members and designed to receive the corners of a book cover of a book therethrough, the book contained within the front and back leafboard members substantially abutted by the spine member. At least one groove member of the front leafboard member has a closed base and closed side members. A substantially transparent cover member is contiguously coupled to a top portion of the side members to define an ash container assembly. An alternative embodiment includes a covering or enclosing member that holds an electronic handheld device removably coupled to the back leafboard member.

This invention involves a balance scale with a base, a balance arm support, a balance arm, a pointer with a counter-balance, and a movable label plate containing descriptions. The balance arm has a tray on each end, where one tray holds an article representing mankind with sin, and the other tray holds an article representing the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. The articles on each tray are of equal or approximately equal weight. The scale rotates when the weight of the articles are added to or removed from the trays, and the scale rotation will determine which description the pointer will point to. This invention can be used as a Christian teaching aid showing the benefit of choosing to accept the death of Christ as payment in full for our sins, along with showing the consequence of our refusal to accept the death of Christ as payment for our sins.

A hanukiah that includes a base, eight oil holders and a ninth one that serve as a shamash. Each of the oil holders is shaped as a hollow cup that has a top opening and a narrower hollow leg that includes two opposite horizontal holes. The oil holders are designed to receive oil for lighting a wick. The base includes nine vertical holes which are designed to receive the narrow hollow legs in a way that enables them to rotate inside. The vertical holes are connected together by a horizontal pipe. The user may pour oil into the shamash oil holder and by that to fill the other oil holders. The user may turn one of said oil holders to determine how many of them will be filled by oil.
